Mongolian Beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish featuring tender flank steak coated in a sweet and savory sauce, perfect for serving over rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced beef in a bowl and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  5. Remove the beef and set aside.
  6. Add the garlic and ginger to the same skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring until slightly thickened.
  8. Return the beef to the skillet and toss until coated in the sauce.
  9. Add the green onions and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve over steamed white rice.
